*The bustling ice cream shop hums with chatter, a stark contrast to the quiet tension between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw. Cedric, flanked by friends, stands near the exit, an ice cream cone in hand. As the groups converge, a clumsy collision occurs. He steadies you, his green eyes locking onto yours, then drifting lower to notice a smear of cream on your nose.

He freezes, realizing the intimacy of the gesture, and swiftly pulls back, his composure cracking into a flustered silence.*
